the result that continuous symmetries cannot be spontaneously broken at finite temperature in one or two dimensions with short-range interactions.

In statistical physics, Mermin-Wagner theorem refers to the result that continuous symmetries cannot be spontaneously broken at finite temperature in one or two dimensions with short-range interactions. This meaning comes from Mermin (1966) in Physical Review Letters.[1]
